S17 Weasle
History
S17 Weasle Heavy Wheeled Scout Tank
The S17 Weasle was introduced as a fast 8x8 reconnaissance vehicle, combining high mobility with enough firepower to survive in contested zones. Its turret-mounted 20mm autocannon and coaxial 7.62mm machine gun gave it solid anti-infantry capability, while its strong engine and electric transmission allowed equal top speeds forward and in reverse. Amphibious capability was built in, letting it cross rivers and shallow lakes during scouting missions.
On paper, the S17 was an excellent scout, but its flaws became clear even during training. The electric transmission was prone to catastrophic failures, often immobilizing the vehicle in the field. Even more dangerously, leaky door seals caused several Weasles to sink during amphibious operations. The 20mm gun also struggled against enemy armour, limiting its usefulness against anything beyond light vehicles. Despite these issues, its speed, radios, and survivability made it a valuable tool for reconnaissance units—so long as its mechanical quirks held off.

About the Project
The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
